We are victims of the patterns manifested in our lives by our elders... until we decide to flip the script.

lyrics

Working away
Day after day
Burning all night long
Stepping up my game, ladder climber
Barely enough
Making the cut
Hanging onto dust
To save myself from shame, pariah number one

Stow, don’t show
Wrap it up real tight, keep it all inside
You’re free to go
Do it as you like
But just stay within the lines

Lines we’re sowin’
Patterns growing deeper than the self
Record skippin’
Ego trippin’
Hard up on the shelf

Innocent moves
Walking in shoes
Imitation play
All a simple act till I became them
Quick to assume
Played from the groove
Lost along the way
Hanging from old wires of roaring glory days

Show, don’t stow
Let it go to find another frame of mind
You’re free to go
Do it as you like
Begin, redraw the lines

Lines we’re sowing
Patterns growing deeper than the self
Don’t wanna be a record skippin’
Ego trippin’
Hard up on the shelf
Find on through the strong wind blowin’
Moving so compelled
Doubt departed, teach wholehearted joy to those who’ve rebelled

about

Jitensha Montreal, Québec

Jitensha is the garage rock love child of Erin Rose Hubbard and David Martinez. The sound is a silvery union of honey sweet proto-punkiness and modern indie that is harmonically reminiscent of 1950s rock & roll. With vocals, electric guitar and drums, stealing a niche somewhere between the White Stripes and the Civil Wars, Jitensha nestles catchy, poignant melodies into hard hitting rock grooves. ... more
